1.1 FALCON™ X3 DESCRIPTION

The new Datalogic Falcon X3 mobile computer delivers the ultimate in

ruggedness, ergonomics, computing and data capture technologies. Falcon X3

options provide a tailored solution for demanding environments needing real

time transaction visibility. The Falcon X3 delivers rugged construction, laser and

image data capture, along with real time communications in a product that is

effortless to develop for, deploy and manage.

Enterprises rely on accurate inventories to both plan and manage activities.

Three data capture options optimize the Falcon X3 to the application. A laser

scanner tackles high volume environments where speed is essential to

receiving and shipping operations. The imager captures linear, stacked and 2D

codes to reduce failed reads due to damaged and poor quality barcodes. An

optional camera takes pictures for the documentation of damaged or returned

goods. Datalogic’s patented Green Spot good read feedback reduces errors in

both noisy and quiet environments. For applications like cross docking where

bar codes can be close at hand or far away, an auto ranging laser offers an

aggressive scanning solution.

The parallel computer architecture of the Falcon X3 melds the strengths of an

XScale™ PXA310 microprocessor with a Cortex-M3 coprocessor. This

combination gears the device for real time information management. Memory of

256 MB RAM / 256 MB Flash accommodates multiple simultaneous

applications, for managing large databases or enabling off-line autonomy of

thick applications. A Micro SD Card Slot provides a simple way for users to

increase memory storage capacity as needed. The Falcon X3 tailors itself to the

information technology practices of the enterprise through either the Microsoft

Windows CE 6.0 or Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system.

As information is collected the Falcon X3 turns to the task of communication via

a Summit IEEE 802.11 a/b/g radio. Complimented by a CCX v4 certification

from Cisco, the Falcon X3 provides infrastructure compatibility focused on

enterprise requirements for encrypted communication and seamless roaming.

Voice applications leverage the internet protocol connection for hands-free

voice picking and push to talk communications. Bluetooth® Wireless

Technology connects headsets, printers and other peripherals eliminating

cumbersome wires. An extensive accessory offering accommodates existing

installation needs for USB, RS232, modem or Ethernet communications.

The Falcon X3 comes in two form factors to tackle the differing scanning

intensities found in an enterprise. A pistol grip version with numeric keypad

tackles the high volume scan and quantity entry found at the receiving dock.

While a hand held with alpha numeric keypad better suits the lighter pick and

pack duty of preparing goods for shipment. The Falcon’s low weight balances a

large 3.5” display with a full size keyboard and a single piece 5000 mAh battery

into both of these packages.

FALCON™ X3

The Falcon X3 must do more than function for a full shift, it must survive daily

abuse and trauma. The new Falcon X3 survives drops from 6 feet (1.8 meter) to

concrete. Coupled with an IP64 sealing against water and dust allows the

Falcon X3 to literally take an industrial pounding. Plastic key caps with metal

snap dome actuation withstand not only the abusive environment but the heavy

use found in third party logistics centers, literally millions of cycles per year.

Falcon delivers Datalogic’s trademark ergonomics in a contoured package. An

arched pistol grip handle and ergonomic trigger make the rapid receiving of

goods comfortable through out the day. Falcon X3 numeric and alphanumeric

keyboards use a phone key layout placing numeric keys at the device top with

navigation, scan and enter keys. This highly functional layout places high use

keys at the user’s finger tips. Maximized key sizes drive additional user

efficiency with or with out gloves. A crystal clear QVGA display and back lit

keyboard make the Falcon X3 readable in dark back corners or full sunlight.

The Falcon X3 leverages Datalogic’s software development kit (SDK) for

creating applications. The Datalogic™ SDK provides a set of libraries allowing

easy application development using C++, .NET and Java programming

languages. Both MCL Collection and Wavelink® Studio™ offer additional

solutions to enable development. For terminal emulation environments available

tools include the Wavelink Industrial Browser™, Wavelink Terminal Emulation,

and Wavelink Speakeasy.

Wavelink Avalanche™ device management tools make the Falcon X3 an easy

device to both deploy and maintain. Datalogic Desktop, Configuration and

Firmware Utilities deliver unprecedented ability to customize and update device

configuration to the use environment or process. For small or remote

installations, Scan to Configure provides simple barcodes that anyone can use

to configure the Falcon X3. Wavelink Remote Control allows an administrator to

remotely diagnose and remedy both applications and device settings. For added

security the Falcon X3 can be implemented with Wavelink CE Secure and

Wavelink Certificate Manager
